What people say

Born at 35 weeks and spending 2 weeks in special care, Oscar started Water Babies at 4 months old. He's now 4 & I believe Water Babies has helped with his development with the detailed lessons they have. The teachers are always so helpful and reassuring - not only has it given Oscar confidence, but also me. We've just had our baby daughter at 27 weeks and can't wait for her to start her Water Babies journey.

We love Water Babies! Even though Betty went through the wobbles for a fair few months, we persisted and she's come out the other side loving it even more and super confident!

Absolutely incredible. Worth every penny. Feels so lovely being in the water with Alice and shown what to do to encourage her. Cannot praise them enough!

We're amazed at the progression! Annie will soon be 3 and has been with Water Babies since she was 4 months old. She is now swimming a few metres, coming up for one breath - she can 'do it myself!'.

Taking my 2 boys to Water Babies has been very rewarding - I love seeing their confidence grow and the time I get to spend dedicated to them every week. They are now fabulously confident with a healthy respect for the water. We recently started classes with our 11 week old little girl and I can't wait to go through it all over again!

We've been swimming with Water Babies since Oran was 6 months old. He loves the classes and has developed into a happy and confident toddler in the water. It's a fun way to help your child develop the early stages of swimming, which is a life skill.

Evan has been swimming with Water Babies since he was 8 weeks and he absolutely loves it! His confidence in the water already at 11 months is fantastic, the classes are so much fun – can't recommend them enough!

It's the best thing you can do - you'll have moments in the pool that will amaze and stay with you forever. When Scarlett was first introduced to Water Babies she was shy, cried a lot and was no fan of the water. Although we went through more wobbles, she slowly grew confident .I'm so proud at how confident she now is in the water. A big thanks for what has been a truly fun four years.

We wanted our daughter to have confidence in the water - and thanks to Water Babies she now has this in bucket loads! Despite being born prematurely, and the concerns we had with regard to how she might manage, she's come on so far so quickly, and not a day goes by without her asking to go swimming!

Only had one lesson and we are so impressed that we are booking for the next term already!

I'm not a confident swimmer myself, but our Water Babies lessons have been the most enjoyable of all the classes we've signed up for. As well as being able to see that Luke just loves the water, I feel like I've learned loads about how to support him as his swimming develops.

Charlotte has loved learning to swim, splash and dive and is always so excited to get in the water. Our Water Babies lessons are the highlight of our week!

Joining Water Babies was the best thing we ever did for Eoin - it's the highlight of his & Daddy's week and I love seeing how much he's learnt and how confident he is in the water. Cannot recommend enough.

The class not only teaches Edan lifesaving skills in the water but I also found it a great way to exercise and have one to one fun with my wee one. Nearly 2 years on and Edan has no fear of the water and loves swimming and splashing about with his friends at his Water Babies class.

Thanks to the team at Ascot last Sunday for getting a brilliant photo of Haron under the water! We're so happy with it and can't wait to start again!

Taking our daughter Esme swimming at only 10 weeks old was quite daunting, especially because she was born 5 weeks premature. We never regret it! It's the best thing we did and we strongly believe it has helped her development. We will never forget our Water Babies experiences and teachers!
